[quote=Anonymous]People here may not like it but Citi/American Platinum Select. It obviously ties your miles to American, so that works better if you are more into domestic travel originating at the east coast airports rather than international travel.

1:1 miles per dollar spent, though 2 miles for every $1 at restaurants or gas stations or with American Airlines. Plus 50k miles when you open an account, which is pretty much enough for a cross country flight. Points add up quick if you're the type of person who charges everything.

I personally was looking for a card that would give me status with one airline and among other things allow for preferential boarding on flights -- as I was getting sick of always been in group 9. This guarantees you at least group 5 boarding. I looked at Chase Sapphire which everyone recommends but IDK I didn't really see the appeal unless you are REALLY committed to traveling a lot AND really want to be going overseas a lot -- seems like all their partners are foreign airlines. Unsophisticated to say on DCUM but 1-2 trips per year is pretty much enough for me and those trips are more likely to be Charleston or Orlando or Vegas rather than Australia or Croatia.

But I figured if I change my mind on that -- build up the points with American in a year or so, let them sit for domestic travel and then "advance" to something like Chase.[/quote]
